 Our LAB M7i had hard disk fail in first 2-3 months in operation. It
automaticly remove HDD from bios boot order and on next reloaded 
refused to come up as it didn't have flash at all. Setting it back 
to bios and box booted just nicely, but I decided to RMA it anyhow as
diagnostics[0] displayed errors.
 The RE in question is still MIA byt Finnish postal service, but that's
 whole another story)
